Crypto’s Most Volatile Days Revealed—When Traders Go Full Degenerate

Monday blues? Not in crypto. Midweek slumps? Forget ’em. The market’s wildest price swings cluster around two key days—and no, it’s not when Wall Street ’experts’ predict.

Weekend warriors vs. institutional FOMO: The 72-hour trading cycle doesn’t care about your 9-to-5. While traditional markets nap, crypto traders turn leverage up to 11.

Pro tip: The real action starts when Asian markets wake up and US traders haven’t yet liquidated their margined long positions from the night before. Just don’t tell the ’efficient market hypothesis’ crowd—they’re still recovering from their 2008 trauma.

Crypto Markets: Days of Uptick

Days in isolation do not provide a definitive explanation for market rises or falls. The results in the chart below are related to certain events recurring on those days, leading to bullish or bearish outcomes.

For example, significant U.S. data releases occur on Fridays, with major developments frequently happening close to the market’s end on this day. This Friday, the market awaits volatility-inducing unemployment and Non-Farm Payrolls data. On weekends, as people usually take a break and trading volume decreases, volatility tends to be subdued. Wednesdays are often reserved for events like the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions and the week’s less critical data releases.

Daan Crypto shared the above six-month average daily BTC gain chart and commented:

“Throughout 2025, BTC gains predominantly occurred on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Thursdays have historically been the worst days. Weekends are generally flat, with a slight decline on Sundays.

Remember, these are mere averages and can change. It’s not based on any profound analysis but is merely interesting statistics for those curious.”

Does this mean the decline will continue tomorrow according to this chart? We shall see.

Insights on ETH and BTC

Altcoins have been suffering for nearly six months. Repeatedly hitting new lows, some have even surpassed their losses from last year. The dreadful performance has been partly due to ETH, enduring one of its worst phases. The ETH/BTC pair is at a low, the price is bottoming out, and even Google searches, as shared by Mister, are at a low point. If an upside is to begin for ETH, we might be at a significant bottom as market dominance is also low.

“ETH search interest is at bear market levels. This could be your opportunity. Do not underestimate the DeFi King!”

CryptoBullet points out the possibility of a new pullback in BTC prices.

“Guess where we have been stalled – the same Key Resistance line. I expect a pullback to the $85-90k green box (MA200+EMA200) before breaking the resistance.”
